Can I lay out my drop-down lists separately from my add to cart button?

es, the following variables (which are always pre-figured with NETQUOTEVAR: ) are available to use in the Product Layout templates.

VARIANTS
Inserts any attributes/choices for a product into the HTML.

VARIANTADDTOCARTBUTTON
If you are using NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTS, then use this placeholder to insert the Add to Cart button into the HTML.

VARIANTLABELn
Inserts the text label for an individual attribute.
For example: NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTLABEL1 will insert the text label for the first attribute for a product, NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTLABEL2 for the second, and so on up to 20.

VARIANTSELECTORn
Inserts the choice selection mechanism for an individual attribute.
For example: NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTSELECTOR1 will insert the choice selection mechanism for the first attribute for a product, NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTSELECTOR2 for the second, and so on up to 10.
